Abstract

Channel estimation for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO with hybrid precoding is challenging, since the number of radio frequency (RF) chains is usually much smaller than that of antennas. To date, several channel estimation schemes have been proposed for mmWave massive MIMO over narrow-band channels, while practical mmWave channels exhibit the frequency-selective fading (FSF). To this end, this letter proposes a multi-user uplink channel estimation scheme for mmWave massive MIMO over FSF channels. Specifically, by exploiting the angle-domain structured sparsity of mmWave FSF channels, a distributed compressive sensing (DCS)-based channel estimation scheme is proposed. Moreover, by using the grid matching pursuit strategy with adaptive measurement matrix, the proposed algorithm can solve the power leakage problem caused by the continuous angles of arrival or departure (AoA/AoD). Simulation results verify that the good performance of the proposed solution.
